Novel diagnostics for aggravating pancreatic fistulas at the acute phase after pancreatectomy

Figure 4 Risk classification scoring scale for clinically relevant postoperative pancreatic fistulas calculated using five parameters. A: Parameters with allocated scores and a bar graph of the prevalence of clinically relevant postoperative pancreatic fistulas (POPFs). Prolonged POPFs increased gradually in proportion to the score from 0% to 100%; B: Receiver operating characteristic curve for the risk score as a diagnostic factor of clinically relevant POPFs. A remarkably high goodness of fit was demonstrated. CRP: C-reactive protein; POD: Postoperative day.
